Celebrating Earth Day's 'Our Power, Our Planet' theme with technology that makes energy efficiency accessible in everyday life
ISTANBUL, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world unites behind the call for renewable energy under this year's Earth Day theme 'Our Power, Our Planet,' Beko, Europe's No.1 home appliance manufacturer, is reinforcing its commitment to energy efficiency with its innovative EnergySpin washing machine technology.
Celebrated by over a billion people across nearly 200 countries every 22 April, Earth Day 2025 calls for a tripling of global renewable energy generation by 2030 – an ambitious goal that requires both systemic change and individual action. With home energy consumption playing a crucial role in this transition, energy-efficient appliances have become essential to a more sustainable future.
EnergySpin technology in Beko's washing machines represents a significant advancement in home energy efficiency, thanks to its innovative drum movement, achieving up to 35 percent energy savings* in comparison to the company's traditional washing machines in everyday wash programmes - not just in eco mode. By optimising energy use across all settings, EnergySpin ensures that sustainability is built into everyday routines, while maintaining washing performance and aspiring to a sustainable future.
Sustainable manufacturing
Beko's commitment to efficiency extends beyond its products to its manufacturing facilities. The company has dramatically increased its installed renewable energy capacity, reaching 90.2 MWp by the end of 2024- almost doubling its original 2030 target of 50 MWp. Beko's factories - powered by AI, machine learning, and IoT - are benchmarks for sustainable manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Following its plants in Romania and EskiÅŸehir, Beko's Ankara Dishwasher Plant has also been recognised by the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network, for its leadership in advanced, sustainable manufacturing.
"Addressing global energy challenges requires every sector to be part of the solution," said Akın Garzanlı, CMO at Beko. "Sustainability is not only about developing energy-efficient products but also about producing them responsibly. By integrating AI and digitalisation into our production, we optimise resource use while reducing waste. At the same time, our technologies such as EnergySpin empower consumers to reduce energy consumption without requiring them to sacrifice performance or convenience."
As energy costs rise globally, Beko's energy-efficient appliances provide a practical solution - helping consumers find a way to reduce both their environmental footprint and their energy bills, making sustainability an easy choice.
Global recognition
Beko's leadership in clean energy and efficiency has been recognised internationally. With a score of 89/100, the company retained its top position in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (S&P CSA) in the household durables (DHP) sector for the sixth year in a row as of November 22nd, 2024. The company was also included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the eighth consecutive year in 2024. Additionally, Beko ranked first in the Real Leaders Top Impact Companies of 2025, underscoring its leadership in sustainable innovation.
With the rise of renewable energy technologies and increasing awareness of climate issues, energy-efficient home appliances offer a simple yet powerful way for consumers to take part in the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
* In addition to the Eco 40-60 program (declaration program) the energy consumption of Cottons, Synthetics, Xpress/Super Express, Delicates, Mix, Handwash, Wool, Darkcare, and Outdoor/Sports programs is up to 35% less compared to the Beko WTV 9636 XS0 washing machine, without compromising washing performance.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dar Global (LSE: DAR), the London-listed international luxury real estate developer, announced today the official launch of Trump Plaza Jeddah, marking its third prestigious collaboration with The Trump Organization in Saudi Arabia. Valued at over USD 1 billion, this landmark development, strategically located within the expansive Amaya development along King Abdulaziz Road, is poised to redefine luxury urban living in Jeddah's thriving real estate landscape, following the successful launch of Trump Tower Jeddah in December 2024.
Residential offerings include fully furnished 1, 2, and 3-bedroom Trump Executive Residences; premium 2, 3, and 4-bedroom Trump Park Residences; and exclusive 4-bedroom Trump Townhouses. Together with thoughtfully designed home offices, premium retail, and curated dining, the project redefines modern living by blending convenience and luxury into a single, connected destination. Optional rental management services further enhance the appeal for international owners seeking a turnkey ownership experience.
Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, commented: "Expanding our presence in Saudi Arabia with Trump Plaza Jeddah underscores our commitment to world-class quality and iconic design. This project reflects the strength of our relationship with Dar Global and our confidence in Jeddah as a dynamic, globally relevant city. Trump Plaza Jeddah will set a new benchmark for integrated urban destinations."
Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, added: "The launch of Trump Plaza Jeddah represents a major milestone in our Saudi portfolio. This is not a single-use development, but a carefully curated urban ecosystem designed for global residents who want to live, work, and connect within the best address in Jeddah. Anchored by a private park and supported by world-class amenities, Trump Plaza Jeddah introduces a new model for modern city living in the Kingdom."
Central to the lifestyle offering is the exclusive 4,000-square-metre Vitality Club, with golf simulators, a spa, sports medicine and recovery facilities, swimming pools, dining, and high-performance wellness spaces. Destination retail and dining, including Trump Grill, Trump Daily, an artisan bakery, and a fitness pro shop, reinforce its positioning as a district day and night.
Located at the heart of the 1,000,000-square-metre Amaya development, Trump Plaza Jeddah anchors a new, highly integrated urban district that reflects the Kingdom's growing prominence as a global real estate destination, supported by foreign-ownership incentives, a 0% capital gains tax, and accelerated infrastructure investment.
